AS DEVELOPED BY L. RON HUBBARD
Learn about the world’s most effective program to rid yourself of the harmful mental and spiritual effects of environmental toxins, drug residues and harmful radiation.
In a drugged society Drugs and Toxins:
Dull your thinking.
Dim your awareness
Destroy your life.
Research has demonstrated that the single most destructive element present in our current culture is drugs. The use of street drugs—LSD, heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana and others—has proliferated at all levels of society. College students atrophy their brains on marijuana; schoolchildren are shoved daily into pill popping by both peer and pharmaceutical pressures; and the seemingly everyday Smith down the street and Jones at the job harbor a habit they neither suspect nor deal with.
Widespread consumption of illegal drugs—many of which were originally prescription remedies—has created a $500-billion-a-year industry.
By some estimates, marijuana is now the biggest cash crop in America. Cocaine and its derivatives, highly fashionable in the 1970s, are now widely abused, due in large part to claims by psychiatrists as recently as 1980 that cocaine usage was not addictive. They could not have been more deceptive.
In researching the barriers to spiritual gain caused by drugs, L. Ron Hubbard uncovered the existence of a drug personality, an artificial personality created by drugs.
Scientologists are 100% drug-free and are very concerned about the devastation caused by drug use in their communities. The reason for this remarkable statistic is that Scientology churches and missions have a very effective program that handles the effects of past drug use. A key component of this program is the Scientology Purification Program.
How Pollutants and Drugs Affect Us All
As vicious and damaging as street drugs have proven to be, medical and psychiatric drugs form an equally destructive vector in this biochemical trend.
Statistics show that as early as the 1950s, daily dosages of sleeping pills or painkillers had become so commonplace that they were hardly considered drugs. Valium was the first drug to take its place amongst tranquilizers of choice. Today, however, we have the mind—and mood-altering drugs such as Thorazine, Stelazine, Zoloft, Prozac, Tofranil, Xanax and Ritalin, which are even more damaging than street drugs. The prevalence with which these are prescribed as a panacea is often shocking to the uninformed.
Mr. Hubbard’s research, however, yielded this conclusion: “Unfortunately, it is not recognized that a person whose pain has been deadened by a sedative has himself been deadened by the same drug, and is much nearer the ultimate pain of death. It should be obvious that the quietest people in the world are the "dead.” Drug taking is, in no small way, part of life in our modern world.
Additionally, the past century’s technological advances have produced many an insidious byproduct, each of them threatening to an individual’s well-being. Smog, for instance, was unknown before the rise of manufacturing centers in Britain. Every major city on Earth now advises its inhabitants daily about the quality of air they are breathing.
A hundred years ago, the main food preservatives were salt or ice. Today, nearly any packaged food has a list of the artificial ingredients it contains that is longer than the list of natural ingredients.
Environmental disasters such as the 1986 catastrophe at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in the former USSR—to say nothing of radiation exposure from widespread nuclear bomb testing—did not exist fifty years ago.
We live in a chemical-oriented society. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that the average American consumes four pounds of pesticides each year and has residues from over 400 toxic substances in his body. More than 3,000 chemical additives are found in the food we eat. There is no escaping our contaminated civilization and, furthermore, it has been found that these substances can put an individual in a “wooden” sort of state: unfeeling, insensitive, unable, untrustworthy, a menace to his fellows trapped in the dramatizations of his reactive mind.
Neither toxic pollution nor drug abuse were of major concern in 1950 when L. Ron Hubbard released Dianetics. By the 1960s, however, the frightful specter of both had arrived and Mr. Hubbard’s research showed that a person who had been heavily on drugs was not able to make spiritual gains from auditing. This condition had not been encountered earlier in his researches, as drugs had not yet encroached so deeply into society. But it became more and more prevalent and required a solution, as drugs now represented an increasingly serious block to auditing progress.
How the Purification Rundown® Program Works
After a medical checkup and orientation to the program, you will begin.
1. Each day, at the start of the program, you run for a period to get the blood circulating faster and the system warmed up.
2. This is followed by sweating out the drug residuals in a sauna. Profuse sweating helps purify the system of toxic substances.
3. Nutrition in the form of certain vitamins and minerals is also an important part of the program.
4. This regimen of running, sweating, nutrition and adequate rest is repeated daily, until one no longer feels the effects of past drugs and toxins going into restimulation.
5. At the end of each day you fill out a report of what occurred. This lets the Purif staff monitor your progress and ensure you get maximum gains.
PURIFICATION RUNDOWN
"The Purification program was developed to meet a growing threat to mental and spiritual advancement and well-being stemming from the more and more common use of drugs and biochemical substances in the current culture." L. Ron Hubbard
